5 reasons NOT to buy STOCKED (and why it's sold 1 m+ meals anyway)

On the fence about trying STOCKED? Here's what our customers said before they gave STOCKED a try.

"Why is STOCKED so expensive?"

Fair question. People think they can buy the ingredients and make it at home for less.

Maybe you could. But not with zero shopping, zero prep, and dinner on the table in under 10 minutes. Eight packs is 64 Blocks: using 3 Blocks that's 21 meals at £3.21 per meal, chef-made and award-winning. Add 15p of pasta and the full plate is £3.36. Less than £3.50.

"I can make this at home for half the price."

And maybe you could.

But it starts at the shop: the planning, the list, the ingredients you buy for one recipe and never use again. Then around 45 minutes at the hob, five nights a week, which is nearly four hours in the kitchen. Some nights you have that in you. Plenty of nights you get in late and you don't. STOCKED has already been shopped for and cooked by chefs in small batches, so your bit takes 10 minutes.

Over 30 dishes waiting in the freezer, so the only decision left is which one.

"Why are all your meals spicy?"

Honestly, fair question. Nobody wants to order a whole box and find none of it works for them.

They're not. There are over 30 dishes and the range in spice level is genuinely wide: Creamy Mushrooms and Classic Bolognese on the milder end, Chicken Tinga and Beef Chilli when you want heat. Every dish has its own chilli rating, so you can see exactly what you're getting before you order.

"This costs way more than a ready meal."

It's a fair assumption. But have you looked at what's actually in a ready meal?

Cheap has a recipe: mass-produced in factories, bulked out with fillers, built backwards from a price point. And cheap is half a myth anyway. £3.50 buys the bottom of the shelf, while the Tesco Finest sitting next to it is £5.25. STOCKED is made the other way round: cooked by chefs in small batches to replicate the food you make at home, then frozen straight away at its best. Freezing is the natural preservative.

And unlike a standard ready meal, you're not locked into the same plate every time. Pair your Blocks with whatever's in the cupboard: rice, pasta, whatever you've got, so you never have to eat the same thing twice.

Six Great Taste Awards, and a customer's verdict: "genuinely tasted homemade, not like the usual watery ready meals you shove in the microwave."

"I don't want to commit to a full box."

We get it. It costs a little more, and what if you hate it?

That's why there's a 30-day taste guarantee: a full refund on any meal you don't love. Subscriptions are completely flexible, skip your next order or cancel any time. And if you'd rather try a single pack first, we're in Ocado and Waitrose. There's genuinely nothing to lose.

FAQs

£9.50 a pack in a bundle works out at £4.75 a meal. Add the rice or pasta already in your cupboard and dinner's sorted for less than that night's takeaway.

2 Blocks fill a wrap, 3 make a meal with rice or pasta, 4 stand alone. A pack is 8 Blocks, 2+ meals. Everyone picks their own portion, and whatever you don't cook stays frozen for next time.

And maybe you could. But the average home-cooked dinner takes around 45 minutes, five nights a week: nearly four hours in the kitchen. With STOCKED, dinner is on the table in under 10 minutes, zero shopping, zero prep. That's what you're buying: time back in your day, every single day.

Barely. A Tesco Spaghetti Bolognese is £3.50, mass-made in a factory to hit a price point. A STOCKED Bolognese is three chef-made Blocks at £3.21 on subscription; add spaghetti at around 15p and the full plate is £3.36.

No. Every recipe is crafted by our chefs, cooked in small batches with real ingredients you'd cook with at home, then flash frozen at its best. That's why it tastes homemade instead of mass produced, and why we've won 6 Great Taste Awards.

No, and it's a fair question. There are over 30 dishes and the range in spice level is genuinely wide: Miso Beans, Creamy Mushrooms and Classic Bolognese are big in flavour without the heat, while Chicken Tinga and Sausage Arrabbiata deliver it. Every single dish on our website has its own chilli rating, so you can see exactly what you're getting before you order.

Real ingredients you'd cook with at home, made by chefs in small batches. Because we freeze the meals straight away, there's no need for artificial preservatives or excess salt. Every dish page lists the full ingredients, with allergens in bold.

The opposite. Each dish is cooked in small batches, then frozen straight away at its best, which is why it needs no artificial preservatives or excess salt. And you only heat the Blocks you need, so nothing gets defrosted and thrown away. No food waste, no throwing money away.

Straight from frozen. Microwave: 1 minute per Block plus 1 extra minute, stirring halfway. Hob: Blocks and a tablespoon of water, 1 minute per Block plus 5 extra minutes. A three-Block meal is ready in about 4 minutes in the microwave or 10 on the hob.

On every dish page: calories, protein, carbs and fat per Block, plus a full per-100g nutrition table. Check the numbers before you buy.

No. Order a one-off bundle whenever you like. Subscribing saves you 14%, billed and shipped on a flexible subscription.

Then you get your money back. The 30-day taste guarantee is a full refund on any meals you don't love, and it covers every order. Subscriptions are completely flexible too: skip your next order or cancel any time. And if you'd rather try a single pack first, our two top-selling dishes are in Ocado and Waitrose. There's genuinely nothing to lose.
